or Do Pirates Like Snow?
Some of the many imponderables uttered by my children.
This is going to be my record of life (because I don't scrapbook, never kept baby books, and have a horrible memory) and the things that happen as a not-so-patient stay-at-home-mom. I'm trying to deepen my faith, but hoping life doesn't cover me in mud.

Pray for Benedict XVI

The shocking (?) news that Pope Benedict XVI will resign on February 28, 2013 came out this morning.

Shocking in that the last Pope to leave the position was 600 years ago. Not shocking in that he is 85 years old and his health has obviously been waning.

Resign is a poor term, because he is not leaving a known successor to the papacy. The Conclave will not convene until March 2013. A better term would be abdicate.

We need to pray for the pontiff and all the cardinals that the correct choice is made to continue building the faith and the number of faithful.

About Me

Hi, My name is Traci. I'm married to my college sweetie. We literally met in college chemistry, so the chemistry has always been there! We have been married for 13 years with three beautiful girls, ages 8, 5, and 3 and two angel boys. Our girls are K, almost 9, who attends the local Catholic grade school and is in 3rd grade. Daughter #2 is Bug, age 5; she is attending the local public school in their brand new 4K program. Daughter #3 is Fixit - age 3. She stays at home with me during the day and is my "helper."
I'm a stay-at-home-mom, but it wasn't a willing transition from the working world. But, I don't know if it will be a willing transition back to the working world when I can make it back. I'm really enjoying staying at home with my kids and being there to help the neighbors out by watching their kids when they get off the bus.
I'm trying to become a better Catholic wife and mother. This will be my 2nd year teaching 7th grade Cathechism class - I volunteered and they gave me the hard grade. I survived the first year, so I'll be back to try it again this year.
I love to cook, have been crazy busy doing all my canning, and love to craft.
